Hey everyone... as i'm sure most know i'm prepping for a Michigan Shortline collection... LSRC is one of the lines i plan on doing but since i have never seen one in person i am wondering what those of you who have think is a good color match in pollyscale or floquil paints... i've used enchantment blue in the past on other projects but i think that may be off. any thoughts?

ATSF blue in floquil looks close... still don't think its close enough though.

381 wasn't in my current plans. I was referring to the newer paint scheme with the CN zebra stripes in dark blue and white.

Re: Lake State Railway color
381 is done easly enough with the Atlas model, and some colored decal paper.

Yeah, i don't plan on making that unit though. I'm trying to find a good color match for LSRC blue units... after the D&M paint scheme.

Re: Lake State Railway color
Gots a bunch more of them too. Was inside the shops and got a tour of the yard. Heres one of Forty Six-Nine
When I was up there, 381's turbo was off due to a water leak. The unit was supposed to stay around the area so the CMO could keep a close eye on it. 469 is in the process of being sold to a private investor who plans to lease it to grain elevators or similar industrys. Maybe even a short line.
And another shot of 381
